The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

One side of this basement was leaking water any time it rained, so this homeowner called us for help. We told them we could waterproof just the one problematic side for now, and if they needed more work done in the future, we could come back out and extend the system. Often times, we find that if you only waterproof one side of the basement, the water will work its way around and eventually begin to build up outside the wall of where there is no waterproofing system. This is because water pressure builds up around the foundation evenly, and a partial system does not relieve this pressure, meaning cracks and leaks can still form in untreated sections. This homeowner does not care if the basement leaks on the untreated sides because their basement isn't finished, and they know they could have us back out in a jiffy to complete the system once/if that day comes.

We leveled out this sidewalk in Wilmington, Ohio by jacking it with our PolyLevel foam. Gone be tripping hazards and awkward steps!

Water was seeping in through the cellar hatch every time it rained, creating puddles and putting stress on the old sump pump system. We installed a trench drain in front of the hatch to catch and redirect surface water before it entered the cellar, then replaced the outdated pump with our TripleSafe sump pump for reliable year-round protection. This Sardinia, OH home is now equipped to handle heavy rains without worry thanks to this basement waterproofing system.

This homeowner gave us a call because they had a huge crack in their interior slab. We closed the crack by leveling out the room with our PolyLevel foam. By injecting the slab with the foam, we were able to put the pieces back together like a puzzle. After we got the pieces of the broken slab back to where we wanted, we then sealed the crack with a fresh concrete finish. The great thing about PolyLevel foam is that it won't ever shrink, allowing for a long-lasting repair solution. The homeowners were glad they were able to refinish the room with new floors. 

Because this homeowners porch slab was settling into the soil in Lynchburg, OH, many gaps started to appear in the brick around their beautiful front door. We raised the slab with our PolyLevel foam in order to close these gaps. We highlighted the gaps in the before picture to better help display just how far we were able to raise the slab. The project only took a few hours, and the foam cured very quickly, which allowed the homeowners access to their new front porch in a very short amount of time.
